Dundo - The second provincial commander of the National Police in Lunda-Norte Province, Francisco Calala, called this Tuesday for respect for Human Rights in police approaches and/or actions.
Speaking at the opening of the training on “Human Rights and Human Dimensions of Migration”, aimed at agents from different bodies of the Ministry of the Interior, he highlighted that defense and security bodies must, in their actions, avoid attitudes that jeopardize human dignity.
He made it known that life training contributes to strengthening collaborative methods for humanitarian management, allowing police action not to violate Human Rights, mainly along borders, that is, in the fight against immigration.
He considered that migration is a complex social phenomenon that involves several issues, such as Human Rights, which requires a cautious and pedagogical stance from agents, avoiding excessive zeal in the first approach.
Promoted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in partnership with the Provincial Command of the National Police, the three-day training programme will address issues about trafficking in human beings and organs, smuggling and mixed migratory flows, the importance of protecting immigrants.
Participants will also learn how to identify vulnerable immigrants and humanitarian border management.
